I confirm the bug presence on Ubuntu Precise + some upstream packages.
bash version:  4.2-2ubuntu2.1
It is 100% repeatable and terribly annoying.
It is dependent on the path length. How to reproduce on my system:
1. Make sure that you have 
/usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/computational-complexity, or whatever other 
long path, e.g., by installing texlive-science-doc version 2012.20120611-2.
2. Change into /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc/latex/computational-complexity.
3. Assuming some nonexistant command qqq, type
qqq &
into the bash shell and press Enter.
4. Observe that the bash closes. It should not.
